Snickerdoodles from Boxed Cake Mix!

Mix well: 1 box white cake mix, 2 eggs, 1/3 cup vegetable oil, and 3 tsp vanilla extract. Allow the batter to chill in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes, it is MUCH easier to drop the dough into the cinnamon/sugar mixture if it is cold. Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. On a shallow rimmed plate (I use the lid to the same mixing bowl) combine 1/2 cup sugar and 2 tsp ground cinnamon. Using your hands, form small balls of the dough, about 1 inch in diameter, and roll each ball through the sugar/spice to coat it entirely. Arrange on a greased (cooking spray) cookie sheet, and bake for 8-10 minutes. The cookies should come out of the oven just shy of being done, and should be lightly brown, but remain nice and soft inside when cooled. The softness is the crucial part of a good snickerdoodle!
